Director Ram Gopal Varma, Controversy’s favorite child, is well-known for grabbing attention not with his movies but with his propaganda on Twitter.
After the recent 2016 assembly election results in Assam where saffron party dethroned Congress and take power, RGV took a controversial dig at one of the woman MLAs named Angoor Lata. Varma praised the MLA for her good looks and said that he love politics for the first time after seeing her.
Varma tweeted, “If MLA can look like this,Achche din aagayehai..Thank you Angoorlataji,Thank you Modiji..1st time I love politics.”

My every compliment is taken as negative comment…I don't know if it's the lack of their English knowledge or their dumbness quotient
